The May Essentials are Here!
What should I order?


For the month of May we are focusing on releasing the emotional weights that are tying us down and releasing the physical stress within our bodies! Stress-free summer here we come. Here are a few essential items we are using this month to cultivate the stress-free summer we desire.

White Angelica oil blend - the friend of those walking though hard times

Feelings Kit - for emotional health and peaceful, easy feelings
Stress Away Relaxing Bath Bombs - to melt the stress away
Tangerine essential oil - for bright, happy vibes
Lavender Bath & Shower Gel - for daily selfceare and stress release

White Angelica Essential Oil

Each essential oil in White Angelica was carefully selected to help promote a positive, peaceful atmosphere when diffused. This oil blend is an incredibly powerful emotional tool for when you are struggling with negative emotions, carrying the weight of others, and processing grief or disappointment. This blend is also wonderful for children who struggle to verbalize their feelings and tend to process through nightmares. Pair it with lavender for a calming, relaxing blend to help release negative emotions.

Lean more about White Angelica essential oil blend in my Oil of the Month post.


CortiStop

When cortisol is produced too frequently, it can have negative health consequences such a feelings of fatigue, difficulty maintaining optimal health of the cardiovascular system. This is the root cause of adrenal fatigue. Adrenal fatigue can bring with it negative health consequences such as fatigue, weight gain, and cardiovascular disorders. 

Enter CortiStop.

CortiStop is an herb and essential oil supplement that helps to naturally balance the stress response by calming the body and lowering cortisol levels. As cortisol declines, strength and energy return, and the body moves back to a state of equilibrium.

To learn more, check out the May Supplement post.

Feelings Kit

The Feelings Kit includes six essential oil blends, each of which is a powerful tool for supporting and releasing emotional patters - Harmony, Forgiveness, Present Time, Inner Child, Release and Valor.

Join me this month to utilize these powerful oils instead of turning our comfort vices - shopping, Netflix, food, alcohol, overworking to name a few! Follow the 'Feelings Protocol' in the morning and evening to promote peaceful thought and spiritual harmony.

For more, including the usage protocol, check out the May Ditch & Switch blog.

Stress Away Bath Bombs

No matter how you do it, take a moment for yourself is always a good idea, and one of my favorite way to do that is with a long soak in the bathtub. So, lets ditch the Bath & Body Works or the brightly colored displays at the stores and grab the Stress Away Relaxing Bath Bombs instead. 

Stress Away is one of Young Living's most popular blends and for good reason. This oil is wonderful for creating a calm, relaxing environment. PLUS these natural bath bombs are made without colorants, synethetic preservatives, parabens, or animal-derived ingredients - making them some of the best bath bombs you can get your hands on!

Tangerine essential oil

Bright and happy, this citrus oil has a delightfully sweet aroma that can create a happy, contented mindset. It pairs well with just about anything. Adding White Angelica or the oils in the Feelings Kit can improve your emotional outcome. Citrus oils in general help to promote feelings of creativity, confidence and contentment.

Diffuse Tangerine with:

Lavender Bath & Shower Gel

Infused with Lavender, Lemon, and Davana essential oils, the Lavender Bath & Shower Gel is one of our favorites for elevating the everyday. It cleanses, soothe, and relaxes your skin and is free of chemicals and synthetic preservatives. 

Use it daily in your shower or go the extra mile and pair it with a Stress Away bath bombs for an ultimate relaxing bath. This plant-based formula smells incredible and makes us look forward to a moment of peace in our daily routine.

Peppermint Oil Spotlight - April 2021

PEPPERMINT

April's Oil of the Month


Energy, vitality, and fitness - things we all want, right? We want healthy, strong bodies, minds and spirits, which is why we are committed to using our favorite Young Living oils and products consistently and frequently! And peppermint essential oil is definitely one of our most used for this purpose.

Each month we focus on using an oil every day to help us in accomplishing our goals. Join us in choosing a method of application and simply getting this oil on and around you every day in April! My goal is to use up an entire bottle for my personal use.

Peppermint AT A GLANCE:

  • Cools fatigued muscles after physical activity
  • Produces a focused environment when diffused
  • Provides a refreshing experience when mixed with your favorite shampoo or when applied to skin after a warm day in the sun
  • Creates an invigorating and refreshing experience when inhaled

Key Constituents

  • Menthol
  • Menthone
  • Menthofuran
  • 1,8-Cineole (Eucalyptol)
  • Isomenthone
  • Neomenthol
  • Menthyl acetate

PEPPERMINT & EMOTIONS 

Peppermint also has a strong emotional benefits. The bright, crisp aroma is wonderful to inhale to soothe anxious feelings, uplift the spirits and calm racing thoughts and restlessness.  When we inhale oils, the area of our brain dealing with memory and mood is affected, so diffusing or applying peppermint oil can help us tremendously. It's wonderful paired with citrus oils for a vibrant, uplifting aroma!

PEPPERMINT & RAINDROP:

DAILY HABITS WITH PEPPERMINT:

  • Add a drop or two to the back of the neck to support alertness and focus! Also diffuse during school, homework or work time.
  • Add peppermint to an Epsom salt bath and/or use for a post-workout massage to ease and support tired muscles.
  • Add a few drops to dryer balls for the fresh smelling laundry.
  • Apply with coconut oil to the chest and back to support the airways. This is wonderful before lying down at bedtime. You can also add Lemon, Lavender, RC, and Raven.
  • Add a drop directly to the belly button to lower body temperature when needed.
  • Make a Tension Roll-On. Give tired, tense, or sore muscles some love! One great thing about Peppermint is that it actually helps support our muscles and tendons through the strain versus simply making the skin tingle like convention pain creams. In a 10 mL roller bottle add:
    • 10 drops Peppermint
    • 10 drops PanAway
    • 10 drops Copaiba
    • 5 drops Oregano or Marjoram
    • Top off with a carrier oil. Apply frequently and consistently
    • Avoid getting too close to the eyes. If you get it in your eyes, rub with coconut oil or other carrier oil.
  • Make a Digest Roll-On. Throughout history, peppermint has been used to calm and soothe digestive needs, so adding it to your digestive blends makes sense! There's a reason all the items on the GI isle at the drugstore are peppermint-flavored. In a 10 mL roller bottle add:
    • 10 drops Peppermint
    • 10 drops Lemon
    • 10 drops DiGize
    • Top off with carrier oil. Apply over the abdomen as needed!

DIFFUSE: 

Diffusing is a wonderful health habit! We have our diffuser going almost 24/7 and love to choose blends that are supportive of individual needs or systems. Try some of these great combinations and enjoy the refreshing scent of peppermint this month!

ALSO FOUND IN:

Will you join us in using Peppermint oil daily to support our health and cultivate energy and vitality! Lets create great daily habits that support our overall health!

Thieves Laundry Soap Ditch and Switch - March 2021


MARCH Ditch & Switch

THIEVES LAUNDRY SOAP


As the gatekeepers of our home we have such a great opportunity to bring in healthy products for ourselves and families!

Join us as we detox our homes and switch out conventional products for cleaner, greener and better options! For March, let’s make a simple swap that can make a big difference - THIEVES LAUNDRY SOAP!

Did you know that conventional laundry soap is a leading cause of skin allergies and irritation - especially in children? We don’t often think about it, but the residues left on clothes and linens from conventional cleaners sit on our skin, often causing low-level irritation. Not to mention the chemical load that leaves over time! Even the ‘green’ options may contain hidden sulfates, dyes and fragrance, among other things!

Let’s talk about the real “F word” - fragrance. Fragrance is a very loosely defined term when it comes to use in personal care and household products. Fragrance and synthetic perfumes are problematic because companies aren’t required to disclose the exact ingredients in the fragrances. Even ‘natural fragrance’ is problematic. Just because something is natural, doesn’t mean we want to rub it on our skin (ie: formaldehyde - a naturally occurring compound that we don’t want on our skin!). As the world leader in essential oils, Young Living utilizes refreshing scents of the pure essential oils instead of fragrance. Bergamot, Jade Lemon, and the essential oils in our beloved Thieves blend provide a refreshing scent without any hidden synthetic fragrances.

Plus, almost all conventional options contain optical brighteners! Optical brighteners merely give clothing the appearance of being clean. By reflecting blue light, optical brighteners give the illusion of whiter-looking fabrics. The design of these chemicals is to absorb directly into fabrics and remain on clothes well after washing. Thieves Laundry Soap contains none of these synthetic chemicals and leaves no synthetic residue.

The THIEVES LAUNDRY SOAP from Young Living gently and naturally washes your clothes, cleaning them without leaving behind any harsh chemical or residues. Fabrics come out of the washer clean and with a pleasant citrus aroma, thanks to a 100 percent pure blend of Thieves, Jade Lemon, and Bergamot essential oils!

WHY WE LOVE IT

  • Free from SLS, dyes, petrochemicals, formaldehyde, phosphates, synthetic perfume, and optical brighteners
  • Safe and natural safe enough to be poured directly onto clothing
  • Compatible with high-efficiency (HE) washing machines
  • Can be used as a stain pre-treatment applied directly to fabric
  • Contains enzymes that combat dirt and stains
  • Formulated to be a highly concentrated formula - a 32-ounce container can wash up to 64 loads

KEY INGREDIENTS

  • Plant-derived cleaning agents (Decyl glucoside)
  • Natural, non-ionic surfactants (caprylyl/capryl glucoside)
  • Natural enzymes (alpha-amylase, lipase, protease)
  • Thieves essential oil blend

TO USE

  • Follow the instructions on your garment’s care label and on your washer. Simply add Thieves Laundry Soap in place of a conventional detergent!
  • Standard load: ½ cap for conventional washers, ¼ cap for HE washers.
  • For extra oomph, you can add a few drops of Lemon or Tea Tree essential oil to the soap in the washing dispenser!

Thieves Fruit & Veggie Soak and Spray 
The Thieves Fruit & Veggie Soak is perfect for adding to a sink full of water and soaking all your produce before putting it away. Prepare to be amazed at the dirty residue that lurks in the water after washing, even with organic products from the grocery store.

Take the Thieves Fruit & Veggie Spray on the go and give apples a quick spray and wipe them down before taking a bit.

Thieves Waterless Hand Sanitizer

While we are talking about cleaning our produce, let's not forget to clean our hands before touching the food we consume. 
Thieves Hand Sanitizer (we call it "handitizer" in our house) is the perfect size to tuck in to your pockets, purses, or keep on the counter.


Thieves Spray


The Thieves Spray is another great product for taking with you on the go. Just one small spray freshens counters, sinks, door handles, toilets, and more. I love this one personally to spray my mask before entering a public space.



Thieves Automatic Dishwasher Powder


This ultra concentrated plant-based powder tackles even the dirtiest dishes with ease. The Thieves Dishwasher Powder is a great way to push the easy button and start ditching those toxins we talked about.

Thieves Household Cleaner

Want a Safer Way to Clean?

Thieves® Household Cleaner -

Thieves Household cleaner provides that deep clean we all crave without dangerous ingredients. Wherever you choose to use it, you will feel good knowing this product is safe to use around everyone in your family. Incase you were wondering, the entire plant-based formula contains no soy or animal products. I knew you would get excited over that fact!


So now you're saying - Does Thieves Household Cleaner really work? Watch this quick 4 minute video and see her clean up chicken juice and the toilet all with the same cleaner.

Thieves Household Cleaner is safe to use on various surfaces including: windows, refinished porcelain, glass, granite, stainless steel, copper, cast iron, or varnished wood. However, Thieves cleaner is not intended for cleaning vinyl or soft plastic surfaces.

Pro Tip: do a spot test on desired surfaces. Wait 5 minutes and then be amazed at how gentle it is to clean ALL your surfaces.

As I'm saying - this cleaner can do so much. Check out Young Living's blog on 8 Bathroom Cleaning Hacks with Thieves Household Cleaner

Now Let's Talk Saving Money

Friends don't let friends over spend. PEROID. We can't go any further without me explaining how this is the most cost-effective non-toxic cleaner on the market. Just erase any perceived thoughts that living a toxin-free life needs to be expensive.

Thieves Household Cleaner can and will replace ALL other cleaning products, saving you time and money and space under your sink.

Thieves Household Cleaner is HEAVILY concentrate - meaning that bottle will last MONTHS. Here's an easy dilution chart for your reference as you dive head first into a toxin-free home. (Though it doesn't have to be exact at all - check out this YouTube by Young Living for more information.)

Diluted 1:30, one bottle of Thieves Household Cleaner concentrate will make more than 28 - 450mL bottles of cleaner. That is less than $1 per bottle. That is for each bottle of completely natural, non-toxic and very effective cleaning solution for every room in your home.

Here are some quick dilution ratios:
  • Light Degreasing (1:60) - 1 capful cleaner to 4 cups water
  • Medium Degreasing (1:30) - 1 capful cleaner to 2 cups water
  • Heavy Degreasing (1:15) - 1 capful cleaner to 1 cup water
  • Pot & Pans (1:100) - 1/3 capful cleaner to 3 cups water
  • Hand Cleaner (1:1) - 1/2 cup cleaner to 1/2 cup water
  • Floors (1:100) - 1 capful cleaner to 6.5 cups water
  • Walls (1:30) - 1 capful cleaner to 2 cups water
  • Fabric & Carpet (1:40) - 1 capful cleaner to 2 cups water
  • Glass (1:320) - 1 capful cleaner to 5 quarts water
  • Laundry - 1 capful cleaner per load in place of detergent
Who is ready to switch to Thieves Household Cleaner and ditch those toxic cleaners?

Thieves Dish Soap

Ready to make the switch for the safety of your skin and eating surfaces? We love our Thieves Dish Soap!

Thieves Dish Soap Ingredients
  • Thieves Dish Soap | Young Living Essential OilsDecyl glucoside - Comparable to other Alkyl Polyglucoside Surfactants, decyl glucoside is obtained from 100% renewable vegetable origin. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel assessed the safety of 10 alkyl glucosides including decal glucoside as used in cosmetics and concluded these ingredients are safe in the present practices of use and concentration when formulated, and are non-irritating. Since glucoside hydrolyses in human skin are likely to break down tase ingredients to release their respective fatty acids and glucose, the Panel also reviewed CIR reports on the safety of fatty alcohols and were able to extrapolate data from those previous reports to support safety. Decyl glucoside is a gentle cleanser, delicate enough even for the delicate skin on fruits, such as berries and cherry tomatoes, which is why it used in the Thieves Fruit & Veggie Spray and Thieves Fruit & Veggie Soak too.
  • Sodium Lauroyl lactylate - A salt derived from the Laurie acid ester of lactyl lactate (or milk and coconut oil) and is traditionally used as a food emulsifier, although it is seen in cosmetics and personal care products because of its ability, as a lactylate, to penetrate skin easily, providing "residual moisturizaion", extended fragrance release, and enhanced delivery of actives. Lauric acid is known for its moisturizing abilities, and is also recognized as a acne-fighter, thanks to its antimicrobial properties. Sodium Lauroyl lactylate is used as in ingredient in shapes, face and body washes, and other foaming cleansers.
  • Lauroyl glucoside and caprylyl glucoside - a safer alternative to regular harsh surfactants, which are typically used in cleansers to make the formula foam up. Also a "surfactant (cleanser)," this one is formed in the lab by blending a mixtures of alcohols with some simple sugars. The raw materials come from vegetables or coconut, and the resulting ingredient has a "zero" hazard rating on the Skin Deep Database.
  • Sodium oleate - I honestly had a difficult time finding information on this one that was not extremely scientific and technical and mixed with other ingredients. EWG rates it very low and lists 18 studies showing it to be of low concern on several fronts like estrogenic and mutagenic effects.
  • Sodium sesquicarbonate - An A rating on EWG, this ingredient is a double salt of sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate, and has a needle-like crystal structure. However, the term is also applied to an equimolar mixture of those two salts, with whatever water of hydration the sodium carbonate includes, supplied as a powder.
My favorite aspect of every Young Living product is that instead of the vague "fragrance" that they don't even have to disclose to us, we know that we have the most amazing, cleansing, pure essential oil scents (which also have health benefits!).

Common Dish Soaps


Now that we have discussed the ingredients to look out for when washing your clothes, we CANNOT forget the other very important and daily soap we all use. DISH SOAP.

Dish Soap Ingredients
Have you ever looked at the ingredients in your dish soap? If you have, you may have seen these ingredients:
  • Ammonium C12-15 Pareth Sulfate - Evidence of chronic aquatic toxicity, damage to DNA, respiratory effects
  • Lauramidopropylamine Oxide - Evidence of respiratory effects, skin irritation/allergies/damage, damage to vision
  • DMDM Hydantion (aka formaldehyde) - Evidence of cancer, skin irritation/allergies/damage, general systemic or organ effects
  • Sodium Bisulfate - Evidence of damage to vision
  • Methylchoroisonthiazolinone - Evidence of acute aquatic toxicity, skin irrigation/allergies/damage
Personally, these side effects raise lots of red flags for me. When we are exposed to harmful ingredients over may years, it can cause serious wear and tear on our bodies. How much of this dish soap is present on my dishes when I'm serving dinner to my kids?

Not sure where to start? Well, Young Living has a solution for you to try - the all natural Thieves Dish Soap. Your health is worth a try. Read more here.

Thieves Laundry Soap


Looking for a plant-based laundry soap that's pure and as natural as it gets? Check out the amazing Thieves Laundry Soap from Young Living, which contains the most powerful essential oils on the planet that not only make it smell amazing, but really helps to get things clean. I mean, I use Thieves for cleaning literally everything in my house, and now they've made the best laundry soap I've evert tired.

This little compact bottle does 64 loads of laundry, instead of your typical 32. It's 6x concentrated, so a little goes a long way. I love that its not so cumbersome like those giant jugs of detergent, and doesn't take up a ton of space in my laundry room. 

AND. IT. WORKS.

Stains come out, whites don't get dingy, dirty little people clothes actually come out CLEAN! I can't believe how well it works with only needing to use such a small amount. Like it is bizarre.

Let me walk you through all the ingredients, which is clearly labeled on the bottle - by the way. I didn't need to Google a safety data sheet just to find out.

I've also included each of these ingredients' ratings on the EWG Skin Deep website (this is a database where thousands of products and individual ingredients have been rated for their safety or toxicity). The ratings are on a scale of 1-10, with 1 being the least toxic and 10 being the most toxic. A score of 1-2 is considered the lowest possible hazard and very safe. Every single one of these ingredients found in their database ranks in that very safe category.

What's in Thieves Laundry Soap
  • Water - Obviously some amount of water is necessary to make a liquid.
  • Decyl glucoside - A plant derived nonionic surfactant (cleaning agent) that biodegrades easily. EWG Score - 1
  • Sodium oleate - Derived from olive oil, and ingredient that helps control suds/foaminess. Biodegradable with a EWG Score - 2
  • Glycerin - Used to stabilize the natural cleaning enzymes. EWG Score - 2
  • Caprylyl glucoside - Another plant-derived surfactant that biodegrades easily. EWG Score - 1
  • Lauryl glucoside - Another plant-derived surfactant that biodegrades easily. EWG Score - 1
  • Sodium chloride - that would be simple table salt. It affects the viscosity/thickness of the liquid.
  • Sodium gluconate - A plant-derived anionic surfactant that biodegrades easily. EWG Score - 1
  • Carboxymethyl cellulose - a plant-derived thickener and stabilizer. EWG Score - 1
  • Alpha-amaylase, Protease, Lipase - These are all natural enzymes, which are very effective at breaking down organic particles that make up the stains and dirtiness on your clothes. Without enzymes, your clothes won't be getting nearly as clean. These enzymes are 100% naturally-derived and are completely biodegradable.
  • Essential Oils - Jade Lemon, Bergamot, Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus radiata, and Rosemary essential oils. All beautiful, purer-than-pure Young Living essential oils that were carefully chose for their cleansing and purifying properties. Also, they smell unbelievable DELICIOUS.
What it Doesn't Have
  • Optical brighteners - These are chemical ingredients that are added to most laundry detergents. They reject light in a way that makes the clothes appear brighter and whiter. Its basically an optical illusion, that comes at a price. Optical brighteners can survive the wastewater treatment plants and make their way into lakes and streams, polluting the water and causing harm to algae and fish, where they bioaccumulate. Optical brighteners may also case skin irritation and an allergic response in some people.
  • Sodium laurel sulphate (SLS) - You've probably heard of this ingredient before, as so many companies are now claiming their products are free of this potential carcinogenic ingredient. In my research of ingredients in other supposedly "natural" laundry detergents, I found SLS in MANY of them. They claim that it is plant-derived and therefore safe, but the laws are so loose on what can be considered bio-based, that I don't know if this is trustworthy or not. If you try to avoid SLS in your home, I highly recommend Thieves instead.
  • Artificial fragrance - Of course, the only fragrance in Thieves Laundry Soap is Thieves essential oil and other pure essential oils from Young Living. Synthetic fragrances can contain hundreds of chemical with unknown toxicity and potential carcinogens.
  • Water softeners - I noticed that the Thieves Laundry Soap doesn't contain any mineral-based water softeners. So, if you have a moderately to significantly hard water, you probably want to add a simple water softener like Borax or vinegar to prevent mineral buildup. It's cheap, effective, and totally natural.

Common Laundry Detergents

Common Laundry Detergents

When we are considering the health of our family, an area to take a closer look are the products we using in the laundry room. I encourage you to consider the list of ingredients in your laundry detergent. Take each ingredient and check its score according to the Environmental Working Group website (ewg.org).

Once you have stopped using your old laundry detergent for even a month and you go back try to breathe that stuff or anything that's been washed in it, you will thank me. If, for some reason, some article of our clothing gets washed in traditional detergents, I have to wash it multiple times to get that out before I'm comfortable with us using it. Being "free and clear" is a great start, but consider that just because you don't smell fragrances there still may be many of these other ingredient lurking around.

Many families suffer from eczema, respiratory issues, cancer, sensory processing disorders, and autoimmune diseases tat can be triggered or worsened by ingredients found in detergents. Your traditional laundry detergent needs to go. It is literally 24/7 exposure though your respiratory system and skin to horrible things your body as to work hard to process. Strain on your organs. Strain on your health.

What Ingredients Should I Avoid?
  • Fragrance: Manufactures combine a number of chemicals to product a fragrance - so you'll believe your clothes are clean because they smell clean - and they don't have to list those chemicals on the label because of trade protection. Some of these chemicals can be very toxic, but we don't really know what we're really being exposed to!
  • Cleaning Agents (surfactants): These are included in the formula to help product to clean better. Examples include chemicals like 
    • quaternium-15 - known to release formaldehyde, a known carcinogen and used to embalm bodies
    • diethanolamine - linked with skin and eye irrational and possibly liver problems
    • nonlphneol ethoxylate or NPE - toxic to nerves, irritating to skin, potential hormone disruptor, toxic to aquatic life
    • linear alkyl benzene sulfates or LAS - irritating to skin and eyes and toxic to aquatic life. Benzene on its own is a carcinogen
    • petroleum distillates - linked to cancer and lung damage.
  • Stabilizers: These chemicals help stabilize the formula, so that it lasts longer on the shelf. Examples include polyalkylene oxide or ethylene oxide, which are linked with eye and lung irritation, and even dermatitis. And yet we wonder why we can't clear up these lingering skin issues.
  • Bleach: Bleach may be used separately or may be included in the detergent itself. It's know to irrigate skin, eyes, and lungs, and when it mixes with wastewater, it can form toxic organic compounds that have been linked with respiratory issues, liver, and kidney damage.
  • 1,4 dioxane: This is a chemical by-product of detergent manufacturing. In independent tests, Women's Voices for Earth found 90 ppm (parts per million) in Tide Free & Gentle and 63 ppm in Regular Tide. They helped increase awareness, and Proctor & Gamble agreed to reformulate to reduce levels below 25 ppm. Future tests should show whether they made good on that promise. Past history is not looking good - I don't have a lot of confidence in the progress being made here.
  • Brighteners: You'll find these in detergents advertising their "brighting" powers. Brighter whites! Brighter colors! What's causing all this brightness? Chemicals that actually remain on the clothes to absorb UV light and help clothes "appear" brighter. We're talking things like naphthotriazolystilbenes (linked with developmental and reproductive effects), benzoxazolyl, diaminostilbene, disulfonate, and more. Since these remain on the clothes, they are likely to come into contact with skin.
  • Phosphates & EDTA: Manufacturers use these to make detergents more effective in hard water, and to help prevent dirt from settling back on clothes when they're washing. These chemicals have long been associated with environmental damage, particularly in our streams and waterways. They cause algae blooms that damage ecosystems. Many detergents have eliminated these, but they're often using ethylene diamine tetraacetic act (EDTA) in its place, which does not readily biodegrade, and has been found to be toxic in animal studies.
Even though it was hard to break away from detergent I had used for years, I knew that switching to Thieves Laundry Soap was right for me. Ask yourself, "is my health work at least TRYING this out for a little while?" I know you can make the commitment. I want you to be the CEO of your health. Read more here.
